Yes, time to loose the idea that iPad is only for holding as SJ did at the introduction of iPad.
So true, people cannot realize that not everyone uses the iPad as Jobs intented. I have multiple iPads (several pro and mini) and multiple Samsung tablets and I use none of them as Jobs intended. I use no device on a couch (I don't sit on my couch unless I have guests and never with a tablet). And that does not mean I use them only as laptops either, most of the time they are not used with a keyboard.
I use them as documents viewers, as annotation devices (most of the time not holding them), as second monitors, as security cameras, as music players, as paper replacement, as portable TVs around the house (stopped using a real TV years ago), with stands in each room. This allows me to do other things while watching (eating, dishes, shaving etc.). Most of the time they sit on a stand (whether it's a real stand, a smart cover, a magic keyboard or a kickstand), I write on them on a stand and I hold them only the time necessary to move them from a room to another...
